Battlefield 4: Second Assault DLC tomorrow!!

Why? Better to wait because who knows what will happen with the effects it could cause. Wouldn't want to brick my system. Can't trust anything until its been put through its paces.
 
Any word on when DICE will allow custom servers on consoles? Playing on 360, and it's bullshit that the only way I can play China Rising is if I play on a server that only has those 4 maps on rotation. I never end up fucking playing them, because I get bored so quickly. Rather have a big mix. They really need to create a better system here, since I know mixed servers are difficult with the fragmentation. At the moment though, this system is shit.
 
been really getting into this game, so i went ahead and bought premium yesterday. i don't see myself playing other online games aside from diablo and killzone until destiny in the fall, so it seemed worth it.

i'm excited to try these maps out! i've never played a battlefield game before bf4.
 
yup

its too expensive. i cant justify paying 100$ for a game

they really need to make another way of doing this..but too many people pay for it so why would they stop

I managed to get BF4 for ~$30 and it was really hard to convince myself to get premium. But honestly I feel like it's worth it. Unlike COD there are a lot of things to try out in BF4 (classes, gadgets, vehicles, etc). The only thing that gets stale are maps. I've already spent at least 10 hours with china rising and I only got premium 3 days ago.
 
It's a mixed bag. Caspian Border and Gulf of Oman are incredible. Gulf of Oman's sandstorm is amazing and really changes the gameplay, especially for snipers. Operation Firestorm is alright, Operation Métro is just as horrible as you remember. I sorta like the bottleneck at the 2nd station, but it gets boring after awhile.
 
Sold mine copy weeks ago =

Exactly. Putting aside all the game's other problems (which are huge in their own right), the DLC release schedule and the way it's handled is so bad. Just confuses people, splits the player bases and ends up meaning that none of the DLC maps will even have a sizeable population once the next exp pack gets released.

Yeah i got BF4 for $20 i think..or 30$ cant remember. So i guess i should man up and buy it..i'm not buying anything else for awhile. I dont ever make it far enough to try the gadgets/different weapons. I wish they would do another Vietnam mod, those are always the best maps.
 
i used to love dice and bf. theres no way im giving them money after the shit launch bf4 had. and now old maps from bf3 are part of premium?
 
Wow, so you didn't have "NO SOUND BUG", glitch spawns, teleportation, random stutter????

It's weird how we are all playing the same CODE, and yet you don't have any bugs?

The last EIGHT patches since new years eve, lists over 50 fixes.....


Yeah I'm not seeing bugs either. Same code. Ps4. I think a lot of people having issues with kill cams, 0 health kills, rubber banding and melee issues actually have issues with their own network connection.

Mine is 20mb down, 2 up, so not the best by any stretch , but it's wired, from a fairly stable provider and I've spent ten minutes setting up port forwarding correctly for PSN and Live. I am not seeing any of the major issues people seem to complain about.
 
We should setup a pool to see what new bugs this DLC pack will introduce. Winner gets his name included in the upcoming patch notes to fix this DLC's bugs.
 
What kind of joke is this? They keep on releasing DLC yet won't even fix the campaign save bug? Bunch of fucking morons.
 
I don't have premium and now that Titanfall seems like my new favourite FPS I'll just wait for that to come out next month. Sorry DICE!
 
I'm looking forward to more maps. Even though I really do like the vanilla maps. Probably the best vanilla maps in BF since BF2 imo.

I actually agree here. I said before that the vanilla maps in 4 were better than 3's. Shame about the early bugs which seem to be non-existent for me for a few months now.
 
Couldn't get into any games last night on PS4 when trying to just hop in any mode I could.

Selected Air Superiority and wound up getting placed in a team deathmatch mode with two shit heads giving me crap (we were all on the same team if that makes sense) because it was "snipers only" despite no mention of such a restriction.

Left that game and wound up finding a game of domination that worked so I stuck with that, until noticing that after the match there was no leveling up! I was having some great games and for nothing!

So, I don't know what the deal is with this game, and don't see myself giving money out for maps even though I love it when it's working.
 
How badly do each of these separate releases fracture the community? I haven't played a BF in awhile but I remember in BF2 that the community playing the expansion maps was much smaller than the main game. And you had to basically choose between the two games before starting so there was no overlap of being able to have vanilla maps in your DLC playlist.
 
BF4 hasn't been a mess for weeks now. Most, if not all of the significant issues have been ironed out. The only problem I have is that the netcode, hit registration, whatever you want to call it is still really strange at times, but aside from that the game is rock solid.

It seems to me that the game shouldn't have been released until March this year. With all of the issues that are finally being resolved, the game would have been much better if it came out next month instead of October. But EA has to beat COD!
 
Playstation Euro Blog is stating tomorrow for PS4 owners

Next week, you’ll take a step back in time with Battlefield 4 Second Assault, featuring four fan-favourite maps from Battlefield 3 – Operation Metro, Caspian Border, Gulf of Oman, and Operation Firestorm – reimagined with Frostbite 3 graphics. Battlefield 4 Second Assault will be released on February 18th for Battlefield 4 Premium members on PS4 and PS3, and for all Battlefield 4 players two weeks later on 4th March.

I'd say 90% of people I know who play BF on a daily basis got the premium anyway. Many still haven't moved from BF3 to BF4 and it's not the bugs that are holding them off but lack of clan servers. Even though we spent most time in BF3 playing vanilla, most killcam screens I saw indicated that players who killed me had premium.

As a BF regular, I'm looking forward to go back to Caspian and Oman. I don't think Metro is fun on CQ large and I hated Firestorm because it gives advantage to campers.

Edit: BF mappacks never had anything to do with PSN store updates. Don't listen to that guy.

I also got much less crashes and rubberbanding last week.
 
Anyone else having an issue where you're unlocks aren't available? Battlelog has them all listed, but I can't access them in game.
 
No premium, ill wait for the maps.

Rock solid ?, yeah right. If anything, the rubberbanding has gotten worse over the last few weeks for me (PS4).
 
They really need to correct the issues with the game before I give them money for premium. I would love for the game to be problem free so I can give them my money. This is my friends and my go to multiplayer game.
The rubber banding makes some levels almost unplayable and I am still being shot around corners.
The latest problem that I ran into this weekend is games ending randomly to a black loading screen telling me that I lost connection to their servers. This happened every session that I tried after about 3 matches played.
 
To the PS4 owners you may want to avoid Metro 2014 because the glitch where you can get into the ceiling is still there.
 
i keep running into the sound issue on ps4 and im not giving them any money, i already gave 60 and i hate this problem

its not just delayed sound on vehicles, its literally NO sound at all for the entire first round

you either have to wait for round 2 to start or quit out and hope it doesnt happen again on next game
